Welcome back to Super Saturday. Today I have a card that can be made very quickly.
It was inspired by a Kristina Werner
video which you can see here. I used Karin Watercolor markers, but I also think
other water-based markers like Tombow or Zig would work well.
To begin, I used VersaMark ink to stamp the greeting on a panel
of watercolor paper that measured 5 ½” x 4 ¼”.
I embossed the stamped image with gold embossing powder, then taped the panel
to my glass mat to prevent it from curling.
I selected several markers in bright colors and colored them in diagonal
stripes in rainbow order across the watercolor panel.I left a small open space
between each color to allow for blending.
To blend the colors, I dipped a 1/2” brush in water, then blotted it off
on a towel. I started in the upper left
corner and brushed over the green and blended it into the yellow. I rinsed my brush, blotted off the excess
water, then painted over the yellow and blended it into the orange. You can
always pick up a tiny bit more water on your brush to help the blending
process. If you get too much water on
your panel you can always dab it off with a paper towel. I followed this process with each color, then
let the panel dry. You can always pick

the panel. I decided I wanted to make the colors a bit more vibrant, so
I added a second layer of color using the same process as above. You don’t need very much water for the colors
to blend. When the panel was dry, I removed the tape, then used a die to cut the panel to 3 ¾”
x 5”. I also used the same die to cut
two pieces of 65# white cardstock to the same size. I adhered all the pieces together, then
adhered them to the front of a white A2 card.
The extra white panels raise the painted image off the card and create a
bit of dimension. I added a few sparkly gems,
and the card was complete. I decided to make some thank you cards and
followed the same process except I embossed with white embossing powder. The finished card is an A1 or announcement
size card – the folded size is 3 ½” x 5”.
It would be easy to make several of these cards at once to have on hand
or to make a set of cards to give as a gift.
